first, it provides the community of visual interesting visual of his history through "interactive exhibitions."

With a ticket in my hand, I would go to the place that holds a lot of memories. This location would be the Native American reservation that includes the miniscule towns Tsaile, Chinle, and Lukachukai in Arizona. Through many years my great grandma, grandma, and mother grew up on this Navajo reservation. On this vast land, there were many homes my family members lived in and national attractions.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum showcases Mrs. Gardner 's collection to the public in greater Boston area. Each room functions as a pilgrimage, as one travels through various countries and time periods ending at the chapel and subsequently the Gothic room. In this paper, I will examine the Gothic room 's theme in relation to the placement of its objects. I will also evaluate the room 's strengths and challenges in serving the public, and how the practices employed in this room fit into the context of accessibility for the entire museum.

This building displays instruments just like Doctor Milton J Lilly may have used at one time. Lilly and His Family moved to Mason County in 1908. For 59 years he served this region of the county and some parts of Cabell and Putnam county's also untill his death in 1967. Lilly was loved by all, he also served one year in the West Virginia State Legislature ,but politics was not his thing.

When one hears the word “Oklahoma”, what do they think about? One usually does not prefer this state over others, but it is still an interesting and wonderful state. In this paper, I will inform you of the information I believe is important to know about the state of Oklahoma. You may not be interested in learning about Oklahoma, thinking it is not an important state, but in reality, it is very interesting and it is a great addition to our country. The first thing I will discuss is the state’s history and a few historical events that have taken place over the years. Included in that section, I will also be speaking of the tragedies the state has endured. Next, I will be informing you where to vacation and where to visit when venturing to Oklahoma.

Last weekend I went to visit my one of my friends, who recently got a teaching job, in Rome, Georgia. Since there was nothing to do while in the small town I decided to head over to the museum to waste sometime and have something for my cultural event paper. I went on a tour and informational guide about Rome. The museum was called the Rome Area History Museum. The tour was sponsored by the Rome chamber of commerce and the tour lasted for 30-40 minutes.

I choose the Crystal River State Archaeological State Park in Crystal River , Florida. It is more commonly know as the Indian Burial Mounds. The park itself is in a beautiful location , overlooking the Crystal River on one side and grassy plains on the other side. There is recreational activities in the park as well as the museum. Some of the activities are salt and freshwater fishing , picnicking , bird watching and nature walks. The museum itself features a video about the ancient tribe that once lived there and a collection of artifacts. A few of the artifacts are arrowheads , pottery , jewelry , stone and bone tools. The main attraction of the interior museum is a diorama of a scale model of the site when the Indians lived there .

The Cultural Heritage Center stands near the Capitol building and it opened up in 1989 to preserve South Dakota’s cultures. It has outstanding exhibits on the native and post-Columbian history of the state. It begins with the Native American Tribes. It explains the life of a Native American surviving cold, harsh winter and hot humid summers. There are hand on activities including sailing a ship, and walking into a teepee to understand how one lives. Then it leads to the State’s history going into today’s century. This provides unique learning opportunities for all ages. Kids can make Native American art and learn -aged games. Adolescents can watch videos about our past and adults can read about what happened in our past. At the end of it all you can buy

On Monday October 19, 2015 I participated in the Audio Tour at the Betsy Ross House. I have never been to this museum before, and have heard a lot of mixed opinions about this museum in particular. I was curious to see this museum for myself keeping in mind other opinions. While there is no specific mission statement one can gather that this historic site is meant to preserve, and explain Betsy Ross, and the creation of the first American Flag. The website provides this statement for the museum:

It mainly focuses on Al Capone and his illegal misdeeds. Then it adds some outlying support from the various newspaper headlines and random pictures. All put together, I just don’t agree with the end sentiment of the exhibit. It comes off as cautionary history instead of showing the truth. I feel that if I had done this exhibit, I would have looked at a couple of the gang leaders, not just one. I would have shown their childhood status and what led them to the crime. Then I would have shown how the police saw the crime escalate. Then I would have shown how they repealed prohibition because of the crime problem. If it could be seen that way, I think it would show that failed policy happens and that we have a lot to learn from in the present

In this article, Dorothy Lippert, a Native American, covers the complex dynamic between Native Americans and museum collections, more specifically the archeologists that recover and archive the so called artifacts. This complex relationship between the artifacts, with the scientific importance and ability to educate, and the cultural importance of the artifacts to native peoples is one that is forever changing. Curators are in charge of putting together exhibits, but as Mrs. Lippert examines, the archaeologists that collect and find these artifacts have a unique relationship with these items. This relationship is unique because once archaeologists have control of an item, they decide what the item will be called, how they will classify the

The objects that I chose to take a picture of were at first very visually appealing. After taking a deeper look into those objects, I realized that all had significant value to this community. From first glance, it seemed like everything on display was there because The Lenape people were no longer existing. There was a display that show cased a Chief named Mark Gould,

I was attracted by this piece among all the photographs in the museum. The obvious symmetric glass building in the front with a blurry reflection of other buildings that cought my eyes. The piece is named “Reflection, Old St.Louis County Courthouse,” and photographed by William Clift in 1976. It is a 30x40 cm black and white photography and the medium is Gelatin silver. The glass building is a rectangle shape with perpendicular to the side roads. It shows flatness and a shallow sense. But when you get closer to observe the cars along two sides into the reflection roads, it gives me a depth sense even though the reflection is a surface. According to the surface perspective, I think that William was probably stood in a higher point and the camera

"Community engagement refers to the process by which community benefit organizations and individuals build ongoing, permanent relationships for the purpose of applying a collective vision for the benefit of a community.” Engaging the community is an essential task for museums to accomplish. In order to do so, the museums must “determine who those communities are, their needs, and how the museum can work with them to meet their goals”. As technology and the way people learn and communicate change, museums must evolve as well and accommodate exhibits in order to have the community fully engaged into what they are trying to convey in their museum. There are many methods to involve the community, spark interest and help benefit the museum. By
